Introduction:

1. I am watching the Impeachment Hearings
2. …on television this week. (21-25 November)
3. The officials who testified were nearly all career diplomats and
4. nonpartisan experts, professionals.
5. They decided, at genuine risk, to fulfill  their
6. legal and moral obligation” to appear before Congress.
7. I was so impressed by Dr. Fiona Hill.
8. …for her smarts, directness, and her steely self-confidence
9. She said she felt a “duty” to testify.
10. She is an example to many potential witnesses who
11. …will not testify…to finally “woman-up”.
12. Dr. Fiona Hill was NOT someone the Republicans wanted to hear from.
13. I KNEW  after her testimony…I had to read her book!

Conclusion:

Why is Putin the world’s new strong guy
…and why should you know more about him?
